Generation of Framework as Swift Syntax Evolves

[gdrparker]

HI Simon, I was considering a similar strategy when I stumbled on your project. Great work...impressive. Are you willing to share the process you went through to generate the swift-syntax-xcframeworks so the Framework can be updated as new versions are released of swift-syntax?

Hi, thanks. You're not the first one to ask this and the answer is the same - it's not a secret - the script that generates the framework is in this repository (https://github.com/sjavora/swift-syntax-xcframeworks/blob/main/.github/bootstrap.sh). The whole thing is set up using github actions so once 6.0 comes out, I just trigger it and a new version gets build automatically. 5.10 isn't even the first version - this project started with 5.9 :)

Hi Simon, Thanks for the quick response…I’ll take a look at the bootstrap and see if I can generate the framework for v6+. IMHO, your project is extremely important for anyone working with Swift Macros. My project now compiles in seconds instead of minutes. More importantly, the constant re-indexing due to the massive-code introduced by the swift-syntax dependency has gone away. The re-indexing was a major impediment to productivity as it often ‘hung’ my build; forcing a full re-build, which was painful as all the swift-syntax code had to be rebuilt. Keep up the amazing work, Most Appreciatively, David Parker

Maybe bootstrap.sh debug should be replaced by release, thus allowing runtime optimised code for macros execution when Xcode / swiftc uses them
